RUMBLE OF THE RAILS.
The Minnesota 81 Northwestern and
the Pass Agreement.
Roads Running Into Omaha Earn
ings of the Milwaukee.

1t is ry we'll known that the Mime
sofa & Northwestern road has declined to
become party to the agreement in regard
to issuing of passes to shippers. but the
reasons for refusing have not until recently
been given out. The first reason given is
that the Illinois Central road has not be-
come party to the agreement, nOtwith-
standing that road strikes the Minnesota &
Northwestern at several of its best points
and runs parallel with it for distance of
$50 miles. In the second place, the Min
nesota 81 Northwestern had pass agree
ment at st. Paul and Minneapolis in the
Northwestern Freight association. viii ch,
under penalty. prohibited the use of free or
reduced transportation to any party doing
business in st. Paul or Minneapolis that
would influence the movements of freight
belonging to that association. That
agreement went into operation Oct.
Is, 1886. The Northwestern says further
that it belongs also to the Northwestern
ness between Chicago, st. Louis, Kansas
City and ST. Paul and Minneapolis. which
provides for the non-issuance of reduced
transportation. This last named aSSOca-
ton has been running since last summer.
Both associations are now in existence, but
Notwithstanding the fact that The rules of
these associations provide that no free or
reduced transportation shall be given, the
facts are that certain roads in the aSsOcia-
ton have issued annual passes to every
miller in Minneapolis and st. Paul and to
the hotel and theatrical managers, agents
of foreign roads in these two cities, as well
as to other parties, in direct violation of
the rules of the association. This, the
Minnesota & Northwestern says. is the sit
uation to-day in ST. Paul and Minneapolis.
1t further asserts that in the common ter
ritory south of St. Paul in Minnesota and
Iowa annual passes have also been circu-
lated freely 10 merchants and shippers of
live stock, so that an agreement such as
proposed is of no practical benefit. This
road claims that the agreement, if made at
all, should have been made TWO months
ago, or before the ANIMALS of 1887 were
distributed. These are the principal rea.
sons, and they seem to have good deal

CrRCUMsrAxTIAL EVIDENCE.

CllSO u NJ > / N n IL Il ' II IN u
Any number of people believe in the in
nocence Of the young man CLUNERIUS,
who was hung at Richmond last Friday for
the murder Of his cousin, LILLIAN MADI-
son, and the incident will now be seized
upon as an argument against the relia-
bilty of the jury system as well as an addi-
tonal argument in favor of abolishing capt.
tai punishment 1t is true that all the evil
dence in the CLUVERIUS case was purely
Of a circumStantial nature. The condemned
man protested his innocence up to the last
minute of his life. He manifested a re-
markable self-posSession and assumption of
heroic courage that is rarely seen. Even those
who believed in his guilt admired the SUBJ
lime manifestation of herOiSm. And vet,
by an application of every rule of legal con-
S ruction and every principle of fairness, a
jnry could not have found verdict differ
en- frOm the one that was given. They
10 nd him guilty because there was no
reasonable theory upon which to find him
i'll .ocent. The young woman died violent
death. CLUVERIUS was the last person
seen in her company on the night of her
death. and 1t was proved that he had a
motive tor numbering her. With this chain
of circumStantial evidence woven around
him the accused man made no effort to ac-
count for his presence during the fatal
might, nor did he attempt to disprove
the charge that he had motive for
killing her. There was not evidence enough
adduced in his behalf to raise the sugges-
ton of doubt in the mind of an impartial
iuryman. Suppose, for sake of argument
that CLUvERIUs was innocent. does that
present all argument against the reliability
of the jury system? If he was innocent,
his conviction and execution was the result
of his own negligence, or that of his at
torney and not the fault of the jury. If
CLUvERIUs was not guilty OF the young
woman's death, he had it in his
power to have made a statement to
the jury which, if he had been
unable to substantate by outside testimony,
would have been made with directness
that truthful statement always bears. and
would have had, its effect on the minds of
the jurymen. The only evidence of his in
nocence is in his own unsupported state
ment and the remarkable exhibition of
nerve in the death hour. 1t would not be
right to allow these two circumstances to
offset the chain of circumstances which
pointed so Enthusiastically to his guilt. The
man who is SO utterly devoid OF all moral
sense as 30 rob all innocent girl of her
virtue and then seek to hide his crime bv
numbering the victim of his lust
would not hesitate to lie about it
even though be stood on the scaffol6. IT. is
SO seldom that jury can work up enough
moral courage to hang murderer on cir
cumstantial evidence that public sentiment
will be disposed to sustain the jury in the
CLEvERIUs case unless stronger proof OF
his innocence can be adduced than his OWL
assertions

His Mistake.

One of the best examples of humor at the
serious moment is legend of California

on the body of man i'll an out Of the-way
place. They did not recognize him. He
was stranger. He had not been shot, ne
had not been killed by blow he had not
been attacked by wild animal he had not
fallen over precipice. he did not look as if
starvation had killed him. They were
specializing on the cause of death when
they saw a scrap of paper pinned to his
clothes. They took it off, and with some
difficulty they deciphered this legend: ut

DAKOTA CAPITAL REMOVAL.

There is little reason why any effort
should be made before the present Dakota
legislature looking toward removal of the
territorial capital from Bismarck, and it is
well that such conservative sentiment
upon the subj ct exists in the legislature
1t is more than probable that Dakota will
be admitted as state. if not at this, at
the next session of congress. 1t may be
that admission will be as whole or it
may be that division will be made a con-
dition precedent to admission. In that
event it is evident capital-remoyal bill
could not now be prepared, even

tntelilgently deal with the situa-
ton. Such legislation would, therefore,
be decidedly premature. Justice demands
